A Litany for Lent

By Colleen Earp

O Christ,
Lamb of God, Savior of the world,
We praise your good and holy name.
Our hope is in you, Lord.
O Christ,
Our resurrection and our life,
We give thanks for your mercy and grace.
Our hope is in you, Lord.
O Christ,
One who is, who was, who is to come,
Forgive us for the harm we have caused to God’s creation.
Our hope is in you, Lord.
O Christ,
Source of living waters and eternal life,
Strengthen us, that we might care for our neighbors downstream.
Our hope is in you, Lord.
O Christ,
Morning star and rising sun,
Help us to remember future generations when we remember you.
Our hope is in you, Lord.
O Christ,
Advocate and reconciler,
Inspire us to love our enemies and neighbors, and all the earth.
Our hope is in you.
Save us, O Lord, and grant us peace.
Amen.
